I can't understand how some people can get bored listening to this fantastic song. Every bit of it is so brilliant. It is almost an adventure to listen to this song.
I saw Wishbone several times in the 70s and this recording is every bit as good if not better than I remember them being then. Obviously Andy Powell on the Flying V but who are the other band members on this video? Vocals seem miles better without the falsetto of yore.

yes it's technically brilliant - but sooo boring. It makes me feel lost in the endless meandering clouds of hippie brains. I really understand why they created punk and new wawe some years later in the mid/late 70s.
used to catch ash at the standard in walthamstow east london. many a great night had by all!! was a young man of 14 when this was released now 51 and still think argus is one of the best albums ever
Still as good as when I saw them in the 70`s in Worcestershire. I really like this track and Error of My Ways. I hope they continue to rock for years to come.
I'm astounded to find this. A blast from the past. Pleased to find they are still going strong because they are still strong in my memory. Salute to Ian for turning me on.
Oh wau, I didn´t knew if they still existed. I still listen to "The King will come" both on vinyl and CD. Their guitar-work are still in top, but the singing was better in studio then.
I´m glad the wau-wau pedal is not dead, - love it !
la particularité du jeu de Wisbone Ash viens du concept de Twin Guitars, Andy Powell et sa flying V c est vraiment énorme ! vu au plan a ris Orangis en 2007, je suis resté collé !!!
I first saw them in 1972 in Youngstown, Ohio when I was 19. They were playing with quick Silver Messenger Service who I came to see. I never heard of Wishbone Ash. They blew me away and have been a fan every sense.
whos playing the intro guitar ! hes got a great feel for the song,love to know what amplification hes using,Powells fab used to follow them allover inthe early days .newcastle city hall 1972 etc
Why......As he and Steve Upton are the original founding members of the band, he's entitled to claim the Wishbone Ash title! It was indeed Martin Turners Wishbone Ash.
I saw them in Des Moines, Ia., in 1974 or 1975 with Brownsville Station, if you can believe it. Small crowd, mostly Brownsville folks. They practically got booed off the stage. I thought they were great. I stopped doing drugs after that night, btw. I saw them again with my wife about 10 years ago at Shank Hall in Milwaukee. They were great.
i agree loved them in them 70's rock and roll widow always blowed my speakers. ha d a pioneer receiver that was really amped up and b/o speakers.. still couldn't take it on max.
ok I did say they were a great band, I recall actually seeing them back in about 78 maybe 79 at the Newcastle City Hall, but this Video still reminds me of a "Spinal Tap" effort, my origonal comment was posted after watching said Spinal Tap Movie.
That guy is on the cover of Argus, their greatest album (wtf, one of the greatest albums period) check out the cuts on youtube, you can see the cover and hear the original versions that underground proto goth pre metalheads listened to.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I know the album you refer to. However it is still very emabarrasing to see a man dressed on the stage like that. I do remember Wishbone Ash as being a very innovative Band (twin Guitar harmonies etc) But that was then and this is now and they are merely playing to the retro rock crowd now, and I still hold by my origonal satement WTF? grow up Wishbone Ash
what an asinie comment....Wishbone Ash of then and today can blow the smoke out of these bands today,,, they still tour, record, release dvd, and draw 100,000 people yearly!! the vast majority of todays band are crap, and those in the know tip a hat to the Wishbone Ash influence.
Lighten up a bit. Are people not allowed to have a bit of fun? The crowd aren't complaining, none of the fans are complaining, and, to be honest, after meeting the members of WA, I don't even think that they knew it was going to happen.
great statement, TKDGSA....the crowd went nuts when the Argus warrior walked out..400 people raised the roof, and the band loved it....made a great impact.
They come once more to Germany in January 2009. I will meet them again in Worpswede near Bremen. Muddy Manninen plays now with a wah wah. Very good sound. Ich freue mich schon auf den Abend. Grüsse an alle Wishbone Ash fans.
the best version was 90- also listened to the one with laurie wisfield 80 something...was good but not as good as the 90 version...and this version is good also..i like the new guitarist and andy is still the man,but there still is nothing like the original line up-
the original lineup was great, but the present day WA with Andy still leading the way after 40 years, with Muddy, Bob and Joe, is musically and technically levels above ..
Saw them last Saturday at Jazzbones in Tacoma, WA. Great to meet the band that night..have come full circle since I was a starry eyed kid in Labor Day 1971 having my life change at Satsop Music Festival. GodBless APower for keeping the culture as greatness is defined, the orig members are missing out. Peace Andy Powell
I was there...It was actually December 2007...What a GREAT performance...Muddy & Andy are simply awesome...Go see them...You won't be disappointed...God Bless Andy Powell..
